Development mechanisms of microorganisms oxidizing the hydrogen: role and consequences in the industry; Mecanismes de developpement de microorganismes oxydant l'hydrogene: role et consequences dans l'industrie

Abstract

It is possible to observe a bacterial development in a ultra-pure water basin containing irradiating wastes. This ecosystem has the particularity to contain dissolved molecular hydrogen produced by radiolysis as well as oxygen in non negligible quantities. After having studied the physico-chemical properties of this ecosystem, bio-film and water have been sampled in different parts of the basin. The aim of this work was to identify the different populations of bacteria which are present, to know their origin and to understand their development mechanisms. The water and bio-film samples have been cultivated in order to isolate the chemo-litho-trophic bacteria which oxidize the hydrogen, and on nutritive agar-agar. These bacteria have been identified by partial determination of the DNAr 16S sequences. The DNA has also been extracted of the bio-films in order to carry out a study of the molecular diversity of the bacterial populations (determination of the sequences of the DNAr 16S). Surprisingly, at the surface of the basin, the DNAr 16S sequences of the autotrophic strains are the same as the sequences detected by the method of sequences determination. Most of bacteria of this medium have then been isolated. The comparison between the bacteria isolated from different parts of  More>>

Most of bacteria of this medium have then been isolated. The comparison between the bacteria isolated from different parts of the basin allows to say that the make-up waters of the basin are the main source of contamination and to propose a scenario for this contamination. The hydrogen metabolism of most of the bacteria has been studied by gaseous exchange mass spectrometry: those isolated make the 'knallgas reaction' (H{sub 2} + 1/2O{sub 2} {yields} H{sub 2}O) and fix carbon dioxide in these conditions. In the studied basin are then a bacterial community based on hydrogen and whose primary producers make the 'knallgas' reaction. Most of the bacteria, mainly a (Ralstonia sp. GGLH002) tolerate the oxidizing stress generated by radiolysis. (O.M.)}
